Charging the main battery
Your computer came with its battery already installed. Before 
using the battery to power the computer, you must charge the 
battery.
To charge the battery with the computer turned off, leave the 
computer plugged into an AC power source for at least three 
hours or until the battery light glows blue. After that, the 
battery will be completely charged and ready to power the 
computer.
Once the battery is charged for the first time, avoid leaving the 
computer plugged in and turned off for more than a few hours 
at a time. Continuing to charge a fully charged battery can 
damage the battery.
TECHNICAL NOTE: When your computer is using all of the 
power provided by the AC Adapter to run applications, 
features, and devices, the recharging of the battery cannot 
occur. Your computer's Power Management utility can be used 
to select a power level setting that reduces the power required 
for system operation and will allow the battery to recharge.
Battery life and charge time may vary depending on the 
applications, power management settings, and features used.
NOTE
